Cloudy

My tank has been a cloudy white for about 3 days now and Im not sure why. Can anyone help me out with this?

if you just started up your tank then this is NORMAL. give it a few days for the sand and other sediments in the water to settle. when i set up my 60 gallon it took about a week and my 12 gallon tank took about 2-4 days (cant remember)

Mine usually clouds up after feeing Phytofeast.... However it usually clears up by the next day?

Are you doing weekly water changes?

Bacteria bloom... it will clear just be patient

Well I ended up losing both my Scarlet Cleaner shrimps. My firefish is fine. Im not sure what is going on. I did a 25% water change in hopes that things will start looking up. My death toll is at 3 shrimp 2 fish. I have never had these problems before in this hobby. I dont think I am overfeeding. But then again I am new to nano's.

I have yet to test my water again. I guess my test kits are all expired. All my corals look great. My snails and hermits are doing good, Fuge looks good, lots of pods. Any ideas?

I am wondering if the caulerpa in my fuge is causing probs. It seems to be turning white.
